Welcome Packet
On behalf of the Questrom Online MBA Student Success Team, congratulations on your acceptance! We know that deciding on a graduate program is a big decision, so we have created the Welcome Packet Spring 2026 to provide you with all the information you need.
We know it contains quite a lot of details, but please read it thoroughly, as it has critical information regarding the Online MBA program. Please note the welcome packet varies by entry.
Course registration: The OMBA Success Team will register you for both Mod 0 and Mod 1 once you have paid your deposit. You will not need to register yourself.
Key Dates and Information: Asynchronous, ungraded content for MOD 0 will be available starting December 5. MOD 0 will launch officially on Monday, December 22 at 8am ET and week 1 content will open. See more about Mod 0 here.
There are two required Live Sessions for Mod 0 – Thursday, January 8 and Thursday, January 15, 2025. Live Sessions are offered at 7am and 8pm ET and each session will run for 2 hours. You can attend either the AM or PM session during Mod 0 but must attend on both dates.
Mod 1 will launch on Friday, January 16, 2026 at 8 am and will end on May 2, 2026.
There are seven Live Sessions during Mod 1 that are required for students to attend:

Please note these dates in your calendar now – you will be attending at the live session time you are assigned to with your team.
OMBA Program Technology: The OMBA program utilizes various technology platforms in our program delivery. Detailed information about these platforms, as well as system requirements you’ll need, can be found in the Welcome Packet.
BU Email Address: **PLEASE NOTE – January 2026 Entrants – you will be able to start setting up your credentials in mid-September. Please do not contact IT to set this up now! We will notify you when claiming your account is available for your cohort.**
Unless you already have BU credentials from a time you previously studied at Boston University, you will be required to claim your account and set up your BU email and password. This will be used for all BU-related sign-ins. Information on how to facilitate this process will be sent to you directly from BU IT typically within 48 hours of paying your deposit. You will receive an email from Admissions once this has been sent. Be sure to check your spam! If you don’t receive this email you can navigate to bu.edu/myaccount and set up your account that way. More on this process can be found here.
Tuition and Billing: You will receive detailed information about your billing statement and paying your tuition in November 2025.
